Chapter 649 The Man Who Should Be Given an Honorary Medal

Blake gaped. “He cooks?”

She had thought that Luke was somewhat like her father, particularly after she learned that he was very good at fighting.

But he was also good at cooking?

It was bizarre for her just picturing her father cooking in the kitchen!

So to speak, Luke wasn’t like her father at all.

Luke came out at that moment and smiled at them. “It’ll be ready in a few minutes.”

A moment later, the three girls heard him call out, and they went to fetch lunch from the kitchen.

It was the American version of Beggar’s Chicken which Luke had baked earlier, along with grilled steak. Luke had only cooked the steak because he was afraid that Blake might not like the chicken.

As it turned out, Blake fell in love with the Beggar’s Chicken after the first bite, and she devoured it the way Selina had the first time around.

While they were enjoying the food, the doorbell

rang.

Luke got up and answered the door.

Of the four of them, only he had clean hands since the three girls were eating the chicken with their fingers.

Opening the door, Luke saw a bald muscular man who was much taller and brawnier than he was. He smiled and stretched out his hand. “Hello, you must be Mr. Ray Gaines, right?”

The bald man grinned and shook his hand. “Yes, Detective Luke Coulson. Nice to meet you. Just call me Ray.”

Luke smiled. “Then please call me Luke. And this is…”

The woman behind the bald man stepped forward and shook Luke’s hand. “Luke, I’m Emma.”

Luke nodded and opened the door all the way for them. “Come on in. Blake has been waiting for you.”

After they entered the living room, Ray and Emma were a little taken aback when they saw Blake at the dining table. “Blake?”.

Blake turned her head so abruptly that the chicken wing in her mouth swung and slapped her in the face, leaving a huge oily mark. “Daddy? Mom?” Both Ray and Emma didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

They had sensed that Blake wasn’t in a good mood over the phone the previous day. When they spoke to Daniel Redick, Emma’s rich boyfriend, the man hesitated before simply saying that Blake had stayed over at a friend’s.

It didn’t feel right that Blake would go over to a friend’s instead of following her future stepfather after the earthquake.

Ray and Emma were worried about their daughter, so they had returned from San Francisco in a hurry.

But looking at their daughter who had grease all over her face, they realized that they might’ve been overthinking it.

If her appetite was any indication, she didn’t seem to be in a bad mood!

Blake finally came back to her senses. She put down the chicken wing, stood up, hugged them and said quickly, “You’re okay! You’re both okay! That’s great!”

She was so excited that the grease on her cheeks and her lips rubbed against her parents’ faces.

Everybody simply smiled.

After a disaster, everybody always wanted to confirm their family’s safety in person.

Ray and Emma had been in San Francisco the previous day, where the earthquake had been a lot more intense. It was said that many old buildings had collapsed.

It was understandable that Blake was worried about her parents.

Luke was the same. Even though Claire had called, he had to talk to Robert and Catherine in person to assure them that he was fine.

Now that Blake’s family was reunited, they didn’t stay much longer at Luke’s place, and said goodbye after some formalities.

When Luke walked them to the door, Ray gave him a card and shook his head. “I work for L.A.’s Air Rescue. Call me if you need anything.”

Luke nodded with a smile. “Will do.”

Ray was a man who didn’t talk much, but he felt very reliable. In saying those words, he was remembering the favor he owed Luke. Also, it was a very big one.

He had basically implied that he would help out without question if Luke had a request.

Air Rescue could be useful. At least, they had helicopters on standby all the time.

After seeing the family off, Luke and Selina changed and left home.

It was past one in the afternoon by the time they arrived at the police department.

Luke and Selina went to Elsa’s office and saw that she was on the phone.

Seeing them, she quickly hung up and opened the bag which Luke gave her to take out the cake that was inside.

Luke gestured at Selina, who went to her own desk to fetch milk for Elsa.

Finally, Luke said with a smile, “You should grab a bite no matter how busy you are. You’re not a politician; Los Angeles won’t fall into chaos if you take a break for a few minutes.”

Elsa’s voice was muffled after she took a huge bite of the cake. “You know about Batman?”

Luke spread his hands. “Who doesn’t?”

Elsa opened her mouth. “The police department, hm, the city council should give this Batman a medal.”

Luke chuckled. “He saved so many people. Doesn’t he deserve it?”

Elsa rolled her eyes. “Come on. You’ve saved just as many people, right?”

Luke smiled silently and quietly checked the system.

Host’s experience: 24,890/90,000

Credit: 14,590

There wasn’t anything to be unhappy about; he had earned slightly more than six thousand experience and credit points after a night’s work.

It had been over twenty thousand credit points at first, but using his revenue from last night, Luke learned Elementary Sound Wave, which cost ten thousand credit points.

That was actually his biggest reward. Elsa didn’t pursue the topic. She knew that her old partner never liked to brag about his achievements in case he attracted the paparazzi.

She simply said, “Fine. This Batman’s achievement in saving people is only the second reason. His real achievement is keeping the L.A. masses calm, so that no major riots took place after the disaster.”

Luke was stunned. “Is that true?”

Elsa accepted the milk which Selina gave her and thanked her, before she continued, “Of course. A hero can boost the people’s morale…”

Looking at Luke and Selina’s bored expressions, she dropped the official rhetoric. “Everybody is talking about the lifesaving hero, but there’s no information on this guy who has demonstrated extraordinary abilities. Thus, they don’t have time to stew in their unhappiness or plot something.”

Luke nodded with a smile. “Is that so? That’s pretty good.”

The scary thing about bystanders was how they could twist a matter so that it went in a completely different direction and turned into something that even they couldn’t control.

Like right at that moment, when a bunch of hoodlums were discussing what place to loot.

“We can rob the convenience store at the end of the street. We just ran out of alcohol.”

“I want snacks too. Don’t forget the chips and popcorn.”

“Me too. Let’s watch TV after we rob the place. That guy in black is so cool.” “Ah, you think so too? Especially his cape…” “TV is nothing. There’s already an online forum for Batman’s fans with a lot of clips, screenshots and analyses on it. It’s awesome!”

“Then let’s get this over with and come back soon.”
